Health Care and the Charter : Legal Mobilization and Policy Change in Canada Paperback / softback
by Christopher P. Manfredi, Antonia Maioni
Part of the Law and Society series
Paperback / softback
Description
Since the introduction of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, individuals and organizations have increasingly turned to the courts to try to bring about policy change in areas such as health care.
Health Care and the Charter explores the systematic use of Charter litigation in the area of health care and the ultimate policy impact of the resulting judicial decisions.
Christopher P. Manfredi and Antonia Maioni examine three of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions in recent years.
Eldridge (1997) and Auton (2004) invited the Court to extend the scope of publicly funded services, while Chaouilli (2005) asked the Court to allow private health services.
This book explores the paths that brought litigants to the Court, the arguments and evidence they mustered to support their positions, and the substance of the victory or defeat the Court provided them.
The volume then assesses the ultimate impact of these cases in both policy and political terms.
